husband died. I am received survivors benefits.
Your survivors/disability benefits are reportable but not necessarily taxable unless there is other taxable income in your return. However, if this is your only income for the the year, then you do not need to file a tax return.

Can my child still be a dependent on my tax return?
Yes if they are under 19 or under 24 and a full time student. Or they had less than $4,300 income other than the Social Security. You don't report their income on your return. If they only got Social Security or SSDI or ssi they don’t have to file a return and nobody reports it.
